DIY: Customize Your Tee (Easy. No Really.)

It's super duper easy with
prodigious effect.

Requirements:

- T-shirt

- Wool

- Scissors

- Needle

- Two hands

- Some good functioning brains

Before I've started, I've cutted the
neck-line/sleeves/underside of the t-shirt for a more “punky”
feel. This is of course optional. Well everything is. Infact you can
leave all this work behind and go rock your t-shirt as it is, but
this is more time consuming.

First you cut off loads of strings from
the wool. Make them sort of even, but don't stand next to it with a
measuring tape.

After you've cut the pieces (like loads
and loads of it), you can grab yourself a needle and try to push the
sucker through the hole. When succeeded you can push the needle
through the t-shirt. The t-shirt is facing upwards with the good
side. Just take a little bit of fabric and push it through, so that
it comes out not far from the entering. Make a knot. Repeat this like
1000 times untill you've reached the desired result.

I've attached the strings in a straight
line on the t-shirt, making the rows overlap a bit on the
downside/upside. I've used various kinds of wool in different shades
of grey (50 Shades of Grey
I will call it). So be aware you need to part it, but don't make it
look like you've been using maths to recreate a “random”
composition. Because you won't fool anybody.

It's
easy. You only need to be able to put a thread through a needle, a
needle through some fabric and then make a knot!

You
know you've done a good job when your tee ends up looking like it
just threw up... or grew a beard.
